Global Quackery: Earth Has Not Warmed For Past 19 Years, New Study Finds

Well, that's why they've had to change their terminology from 1970s "Coming Ice Age" to 1990s+ " (Man Made) Global Warming" to 2010s " (Man Made) Climate Change". They are admitting that they don't have a clue what is going to happen to the earth's climate, but whatever it is, heating, cooling, staying the same, it is BAD, VERY BAD... and therefore governments must intervene in every aspect of human life and productivity and control everything  (See: building codes, factory energy use and "pollution controls", etc., etc., etc.). I'm sure they know exactly what they are doing... it's just not what they say they are doing... but surely the ends justify the means and it's all for our own good. 

I just want to point out that not all building codes are all bad since the major purpose of my existence as an inspector to protect the public by verifying that the construction is being performed correctly, safely, all for public safety. 

Snow in Hawai'i: What does the future hold?
Date:May 4, 2017
Source:University of Hawaii at Manoa
Summary:Researchers, led by climate modelers, used satellite images to quantify recent snow cover distributions patterns on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, Hawai'i. They developed a regional climate model to simulate the present-day snowfalls and then to project future Hawaiian snowfalls. Their results indicate that the two volcano summits are typically snow-covered at least 20 days each winter, but that the snow cover will nearly disappear by the end of the century.

I imagine this must live in infamy for building inspectors.

I didn't read the article but I know a little something about this project. I actually know the special inspectors that came in after the original special inspectors and the company they worked for was fired from the project. The inspectors I know were the ones that reported all of the items that were visibly wrong and as things were being demolished they reported on how things were built incorrectly. I can't talk too much about what I was told but I was told that the original inspectors lost their licenses and won't be able to work legally as an inspector in the US any more. I don't know if anything came of the company they worked for. Just know, no matter what happened on this project, the general contractor and effected sub contractors are responsible for the incorrect work.

DRCK - This was a PT project, BTW.

Perini disbanded due to the fatalities and the Harmon fiasco. Converse is still around as far as I know. This article has pictures of the poorly wrapped columns. It might be able to support the existing floors but who would ever give them liability insurance, so down it went.

Big projects like that need experienced inspectors. Especially experience with dealing with ironworkers/rodbusters. My gut feeling in this situation is that the General and subs ran roughshod over the inspectors. The inspectors didn't communicate with the county inspectors who would have put a stop to it immediately. My friends told me the original inspectors new and poorly trained.

Speaking of "the paid climate change" mongers being "at it again"!

A fool's errand: Al Gore's $15 trillion carbon tax

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/a-fools-errand-al-gores-15-trillion-carbon-tax/article/2622479

Excerpt:

Al Gore wants to reverse modernity and save the world from itself through an elimination of its fossil-fuel-based energy system. During the final week of April, his newly created Energy Transitions Commission released a document setting forth a fool's-errand pathway to "decarbonize" the world's energy system.

If this sounds familiar, it is. Gore's plan features a new, sophisticated, and expensive public-relations campaign, but it's all based on his views on carbon dioxide first broached in his 1992 book Earth in the Balance, which he reissued in 2000 for his failed presidential campaign. The subsequent efforts made by Gore during the past 25 years have transformed little from their genesis, and he remains as tragically wrong today as he was when he first surfaced as an opponent of everything linked to carbon-dioxide.

If you scroll through the verbiage surrounding the document, you will find the core policy recommendation is a massive, punishing carbon tax. Gore would start the tax at $50 per ton, which would increase to $100 per ton over time, essentially destroying the market for continued robust development of the world's fossil-fuel base. Our economic growth and personal well-being depends on robust fossil-fuel use, so Gore's plan would destroy these as well.

But, don't worry! The all-in estimated cost to re-engineer humanity is only a mere $15 trillion—enough money to give every man, woman, and child in the United States more than $46,000.

You should have never posted this. Now the Omnipotent One (Impotent One?) will think this will really work as he prays at the alter of Al Gore.

I 100% support this carbon tax.  Tax all the polluters till they change.  Make it cheaper to go green.  Inspector knows how people work,  cause half this site prays to the "trump god".
